Bean</a></strong></p><p>In the third llectn of letters they have eded, Lexie Bean creat an all-too-rare rource: a book that amplifi the voic of transgenr and non-bary survivors of asslt and vlence, voic that are too often margalized the very movements that should elevate them. The fact that trans and non-bary people are often left out of nversatns about their own bodi mak this volume so pellg. But the letters llected “Wrten on the Body” fd power their timacy. Each entry is anonymo and addrsed to a different body part — such as hands, rib, neck, vaga, dimple — some new body parts, some that no longer exist. Some letters are brief, others chronicle explic asslt and document the healg procs. The prose is varied, raw and stream-of-nsc. Together, the letters feel like an clive support group as well as a celebratn of queer bodi. “It wasn’t until I found myself a hospal bed 2012 that I wrote a letter to one of my body parts for the first time,” Bean wrote <a href=">an</a> say for them. earlier this year. “It helped me beg a relatnship wh what I thought was gone; helped me believe my own experienc as a rape survivor, and later as a trans person, when others wouldn’t.”</p><p> </p><p><em><strong>Get the bt of what's queer.</strong> <a href=">Sign up for our weekly newsletter here.</a></em></p></div></div></div><div
